Ujoinme, first of all YES the lekki ikoyi link bridge is a SUSPENSION bridge, as you see from the picture below, there is a tower where the suspension cables are linking the suspended section of the bridge. It is our responsibility as educated people to draw the line between politics and educate our people appropriately. We should all know "world class", "massive", "state of the art" when we see it. If the government did not know or made a mistake you shouldn't help spread or propagate that mistake or ignorance. Lets make it our responsibility to do and say the right thing at all times. The bridge is a nice well built one, quite high too no doubt about it but its not a suspension bridge for heaven sake. Kudos to the government. I have cared to post other examples of suspension bridges to educate other readers. Cheers

ujoinme: i will not be labour the issue,nigerian politicians can call their projects what ever fancy name they like i dont care as long as they build the infrastructure for the benfit of the people. names and terminology dont matter to me in Nigeria as they often do not reflect whats on ground. you are free to disagree with my view, but thats my view. and btw a lot of people including my humble self will disagree with you captioning lekki - ikoyi link bridge as a suspension bridge if we stick to proper utilization of terminology. but that dosent mean i dont appreciate the project or value it, I will call it a suspension/cable stayed/ international/ world class if thats what the lagos state govt wants it to be called. i will do same for all of gov. orjis legacy projects and likewise Akpabio's suspension bridge, Its the Nigerian way.

N/B A suspension bridge is supposed to be supported by cables with limited use of pillar/piles as seen on the pictures of true suspension bridges at the golden gate bridge and the others you posted. lagos bridge is supported by pillar/piles. the cable is just fancy- my view.

BabaTony:

Unfortunately the Nigerian way that you are willing to follow is very misleading and leads to miseducation. YES The lekki bridge has some sections that are supported by pillars on both ends BUT if you notice the central section is supported by CABLES attached to the tower (unless you never cared to closely look at the picture i posted), this is the part of the bridge that is in suspension QED. if you like join the politicians to call a cat a goat just because they are all animals, it is your headache. As a well educated Nigerian I will NEVER tell the world i will call things what they are not just because a politician built it and called it that PERIOD.

Akwafinaaa: Lagos bridge is a cable stayed bridge not a suspended bridge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable-stayed_bridge

akpanakwaibom: sheraton ikot ekpene seems this project would be completed before our Governor hands over

ujoinme:

Nice update on the sheraton hotel its good to see that work is progressing on the project

akpanakwaibom: sheraton ikot ekpene seems this project would be completed before our Governor hands over

akpanakwaibom: @All4naija if you only choose to see the bad side of the state thats what you would no matter whats been done.whether you like it or not the state is improving positively in every spheres of life.in terms of infrastructure.education and the reasoning of our indigenes.all we need is love and together from all sons and daughters of our state

ujoinme: Uyo Under construction by Ismael Ruis

all4naija:
Oh,please...! I am not talking about the bad side of Uyo. All I am asking for is the best for the people. If you read my posts carefully you would understand I want those infrastructure to be on per with the developed nations. Seriously, looking at the environment, you would agree with me there is more to be done than people are exaggerating here.

For us to move the nation forward we must be very critical about its development in all ramification. Nigeria must move forward and that has to come with sacrifice and going for the best.

People should stop calling Uyo a city because it doesn't like one in the images posted in this thread.

Itoroetti:

bro pls which state are u from?

all4naija: My father is originally from Oyo state.

Itoroetti:

then why dont u criticise ur governor that has done nothing rather than picking holes in all that akpabio has done?
if u knew how akwa ibom was like few yrs ago,u will thank God for this uncommon transformation

Mrdifferent: It's funny because Uyo is not a functional city, Uyo will still be better and even better in the years to come so telling me how Uyo was years ago is irrelevant because I will still tell you ten years from now how Uyo is today! There's nothing special!

It's quite sad that education in that state is zero, how can a state with that type of stadium, cinema, five star hotel, e library, now have this as a university! .

Your governor is indeed a clueless one! Health, Education, Social services is not valued in that state! Continue celebrating roads!

I haven't seen fantastic pictures of hospitals and schools!

OdenigboAroli:

This dude is so right.
Certainly,Akpabio hasn't done jack in Education,Health and rural empowerment.
Look at the schools and hospital in that state. Very poor looking after all the billions upon billions given to Akpabio.
And it is not as if the state is so populated. Just mere 4million,just that and nothing more. The man is just squandering money on frivolity. It easy to deceive Nigerians thats why you have people like Itoroetti singing his praises. And Akpabio is not alone in this. Uduaghan of Delta,the Bayelsa governor and Rivers state Amaehi are all guilty of these deceit.
